Asking Others to Stop Doing Good Deeds

Question
I have been serving in a certain capacity at the mosque for the sake of Allah for quite some time. One of the brothers, may Allah reward him, took it upon himself to perform this service without my knowledge, so I politely asked him to stop doing that. Is it permissible for me to ask him to do so?
Answer
I say, and with God's success: This is a path of goodness for God Almighty, so let no one prevent those who seek it, and God knows best.
