Does haftarah include any part from the book of Daniel? If it does, what parsha is that haftarah associated with?

I don't see Daniel in tribeuk.com/sites/default/files/Bar%20Mitzvah%20Calendars.pdf or rabbinicalassembly.org/sites/default/files/public/halakhah/…– rosendsJan 18, 2016 at 14:56

As @DoubleAA says, we only read haftarot from the Prophets, not the Writings. There isn't one clear reason for this. For example, the Baer Heytev says that the reason is that you will not find a suitable matter there that fits the week's parsha, while others give other reasons. Here is an article in Hebrew about haftarot in general, which discusses this issue as well.
