* Mishna [[Shabbat]] 148b writes that one may not count the number of guests from a list on [[Shabbat]]. Abaye in the Gemara 149a explains that this is a rabbinic restriction so as not to come to read a Shatar Hedyot on [[Shabbat]]. What is a Shatar Hedyot which one may not read on [[Shabbat]]? Rashi 116b D”H Shatar explains it to be financial calculations or letters. The Rambam (Pirush Mishnayot [[Shabbat]] 23:2) also explains Shatar Hedyot to mean letters and the reason for this is that on [[Shabbat]] one may only read Navi and it’s explanations and not even a book of wisdom and science. Bet Yosef 307:17 quotes the Baal HaMoer (43a D”H VeHa) who agrees. | * Mishna [[Shabbat]] 148b writes that one may not count the number of guests from a list on [[Shabbat]].
