The Chasam Sofer comments (d"h yatz'u) on the pasuk
וּמִצְרַ֣יִם מְקַבְּרִ֗ים אֵת֩ אֲשֶׁ֨ר הִכָּ֧ה ה׳ בָּהֶ֖ם כׇּל־בְּכ֑וֹר וּבֵאלֹ֣הֵיהֶ֔ם עָשָׂ֥ה ה׳ שְׁפָטִֽים
that the Torah tells us that the Mitzrim were involved in burying their dead because there is a mitzvah for an aku"m to do so, and therefore one might have thought the zechus of the mitzvah would protect and aid the Egyptians, kah mashma lan and even with the zechus of that mitzvah the Jewish people left בְּיָ֣ד רָמָ֔ה לְעֵינֵ֖י כׇּל־מִצְרָֽיִם
I have not done any research on the matter, but off the cuff I have no idea where the Chasam Sofer got the idea that there is a mitzvah for an aku"m to bury their dead. Which one of the 7 mitzvos bnei noach does this fall under?
