Parshas Korach: Chasam Sofer - Dasan or Aviram's Debt of Gratitude To Moshe

"Vlo Hariosi Es Achad Mayhem"  "neither have I wronged one of them".  The words "Es Achad Mayhem" - "one of them" seems extra. He could have simply said , "Vlo Hariosi Lahem" - "I did not wrong them"? The Chasam Sofer answers, when Moshe visited his brothers in the fields of Mitzrayim, he noticed 2 Jews, Dasan and Aviram , fighting amongst themselves. When one lifted a hand against the other, he exclaimed, "Rasha, why do you strike your brother?" Moshe broke up the fight this sparing the other a beating. When Korach came to argue with Moshe , he was joined by the infamous rebels, Dasan and Aviram. Moshe was shocked to see them and said in amazement, "the one I stopped from beating up his friend may have reason to be angry with me , but "Vlo Hariosi Es Achad Mayhem" - to one of them I did no evil - in fact I rescued him - why does he join my enemies??
