Se’if 1א׳

מַפְטִירִין בַּנָּבִיא מֵעִנְיָנָהּ שֶׁל פָּרָשָׁה. וְאֵין פּוֹחֲתִין מִכ"א פְּסוּקִים, אֶלָּא אִם כֵּן סָלִיק עִנְיָנָא בְּבָצִיר מֵהָכֵי כְּגוֹן: עֹלוֹתֵיכֶם סְפוּ עַל זִבְחֵיכֶם (יִרְמְיָהוּ ז, כא). הַגָּה: וְדַוְקָא בְּשַׁבָּת בָּעֵינָן כ"א פְּסוּקִים, ג"פ לְכָל א' מִן הַקְּרוּאִים, אֲבָל בְּיוֹם טוֹב שֶׁקּוֹרִין ה' סַגֵּי בְּט"ו פְּסוּקִים (מַהֲרַ"ם פאדוא"ה). וְלֹא נִתְקְנָה הַהַפְטָרָה רַק בְּצִבּוּר, אַחַר שֶׁקָּרְאוּ בַּתּוֹרָה (תְּשׁוּבַת הָרַמְבַּ"ן סִימָן קצ"ט), אֲבָל בְּלָאו הָכֵי אָסוּר לִקְרוֹת עִם הַבְּרָכוֹת שֶׁלְּפָנֶיהָ וּלְאַחֲרֶיהָ, אֲבָל בְּלֹא בְּרָכָה שָׁרֵי (בֵּית יוֹסֵף).

The Laws Pertaining to the Haftarah and Its Blessings, 7 Seifim: We conclude in the Prophets based upon the subject of the parashah, and we do not decrease [the length of the haftarah] from 21 verses other than if the matter is settled in less than that, for example, “add your burnt offerings to your sacrifices” [in Jeremiah 7:21]. Rema: And only on Shabbat on the matter of 21 verses: three verses for each one of the [seven Torah] readings, but on a Festival on which five read [the Torah], fifteen verses suffice (Maharam). And it was decreed that the haftarah is only [read] in public after they read the Torah (Ramban’s Responsa, Siman 199), but nevertheless it is forbidden to read with the blessings before it and after it; but with no blessing it is permitted (Beit Yosef).

Se’if 2ב׳

אִם חָל רֹאשׁ חֹדֶשׁ בְּשַׁבָּת, אֵין הַמַּפְטִיר מַזְכִּיר שֶׁל רֹאשׁ חֹדֶשׁ כְּלָל. וְיֵשׁ אוֹמְרִים שֶׁאַף עַל פִּי שֶׁאֵינוֹ מַזְכִּיר בַּחֲתִימָה שֶׁל רֹאשׁ חֹדֶשׁ, מַזְכִּירִין אוֹתוֹ בְּתוֹךְ הַבְּרָכָה שֶׁאוֹמֵר אֶת יוֹם הַמָּנוֹחַ הַזֶּה וְאֶת יוֹם רֹאשׁ חֹדֶשׁ הַזֶּה, וְהַמִּנְהָג כַּסְבָרָא הָרִאשׁוֹנָה.

If Rosh Chodesh falls on Shabbat, the maftir does not mention Rosh Chodesh at all (note: in the blessing Al haTorah). There are those who say that even though we do not mention Rosh Chodesh at the end, we remember it (mention it) within the blessing, where we say 'את יום המנוח הזה ואת יום ראש החודש הזה'. The custom is like the first opinion.

Se’if 3ג׳

צָרִיךְ לְכַוֵּן לְבִרְכוֹת הַקּוֹרְאִים בַּתּוֹרָה וּלְבִרְכוֹת הַמַּפְטִיר וְיַעֲנֶה אַחֲרֵיהֶם אָמֵן, וְיַעֲלוּ לוֹ לְהַשְׁלִים מִנְיַן מֵאָה בְּרָכוֹת שֶׁחִסֵר מִנְיָנָם בְּשַׁבָּת.

One must concentrate on listening to the blessings recited by those reading from the Torah and the blessings of the maftir, and respond Amen to them. [This will benefit the one who responds, since his responses] enable him to reach the required sum of 100 blessings [to be recited daily]. (On Shabbos, he is lacking the required number of blessings,29 and responding Amen to these blessings can compensate for that lack).
