Musar for Chagigah 32:13
הא נמי פשיטא לאפוקי ממאן דאמר בסמיכה גופה פליגי קא משמע לן בשבות הוא דפליגי
This too is obvious! [It is necessary] to refute the one who says, "The [Rabbis] argued regarding leaning itself." It comes and teaches us, that regarding [the priority between a commandment and] rest, they argue.
Mesilat Yesharim
Even matters of Shevut (Resting), despite that they are Rabbinical, are nevertheless important principles as the Sages said: "Never let [the principle] of Shevut (Rest) be light in your eyes. For the laying on of the hands [on a sacrifice for a Festival-day] is [prohibited] only on account of Shevut, yet the greatest men of the age debated therein" (Chagigah 16b).
