The Answer
Dear Brother / Sister,
Hz. Ali is the son of Abu Talib, the paternal uncle of the Messenger of Allah (pbuh). He was born 23 years before the migration and became a Muslim on the second day of the prophethood of Hz. Muhammad (pbuh). He never worshipped idols. Therefore, he is appreciated by the phrase "Karramallahu wajha" when his name is mentioned.
KARRAMALLAHU-WAJHAHU is a prayer meaning 'May Allah make his face/aspect/side/ honorable!' This phrase is uttered to show him respect because he never prostrated or worshipped idols and because he prostrated before Allah since his childhood.
