| | | | Haftarah - History: Encyclopedia II - Haftarah - Haftarot on Sabbath afternoon Some Rishonim, including Rabbenu Yaakov Tam, report that a custom in the era of the Talmud was to read a haftarah at the mincha service each Sabbath afternoon — but that this haftarah was from the Ketuvim rather than from the Nevi'im.
